Half way through this day I realize I am just not ready for this week to begin. The weekend was so hectic that I never got caught up. It really is just me panicking because I saw the Halloween decorations being set up at the store yesterday. I love the holidays, but when they come out so early I feel like the race is on. It’s times like these when it is best to just stop and pet the chickens. I think they know when I am a bit tense because they let me hold them a longer than usual without putting up a fight. They still try to steal bites from my sandwich though. Kinda rude, but I really do make great sandwiches so I can’t blame them.
Smile Now, Cry Later (Chuck Restic Private Investigator Series Book 1)
Paul MacDonald
Genre: Humor & Satire | Literary Fiction | Mystery, Thriller & Suspense
FREE for a limited time
176 million people work in Corporate America. 86% are miserable. Chuck Restic is one of them. Chuck is wasting away in a soul-crushing job. As an HR exec he spends his days avoiding lawsuits. But when Chuck ventures out of his Los Angeles skyscraper to investigate the disappearance of a colleague, he starts to feel alive again. Chuck’s not your typical Private Investigator (he prefers a passive-aggressive approach over the old-fashioned fisticuffs kind) but he is amusingly effective at solving crimes. And at last he is able to apply that HR experience — the same one that gives him so much consternation — to a finer purpose.
This first book in the humorous mystery series takes Chuck from the shady underworld of Armenian mobsters to the billion-dollar land developments that serve as the lifeblood of Los Angeles. Murder lurks at every turn and this amateur sleuth needs to find the killer before his name is added to the list. The Chuck Restic Series is a fun romp that mashes traditional mystery with a scathing send-up of Corporate America. It’s a new kind of noir that delivers a fresh take on the classic Los Angeles detective novel.
